🙇🏻 Sorry for the very poor translation using a machine translator. … 🙇🏻 Apr 3, 2022. A Japanese Tit came to visit the nest box! She went inside the nest box! She is inspecting the nest box carefully... She is immersed in DIY work on the nest box!! She thrust too hard and recoiled back down!!! Apr 6. 3 days later, she decided to nest here and brought the nesting material to the nest box! Second time to bring in the nesting material! However, she did not bring in the nesting material after this. It seemed that a battle for the nest box had begun. On the left is the first Japanese Tit that started to build the nest, and on the right is a Japanese Tit that came later. Perhaps this is the bad karma for taking the nest box, for the Japanese Tit that came later will have to face two severe ordeals, but she doesn't know it yet….. From now on, I will observe the nesting of the Japanese Tit that came later....

Apr 3. The female Japanese Tit that came later continues to go in and out of the nest box. She has begun the preparatory work for nesting. She is taking out the woodchips she doesn't like. Half an hour later, the male, the husband of the female who came later, came to see the nest box. He is very scared. It was his wife who was outside. She has kicked the male out of the nest box. She did not come to the nest box after this. Apr 12. Two days later, she brings the first nesting material. Now it is time to start nesting! Twelve minutes later, she brought in the nesting material for the second time. 13th time! 15th time! 33rd time! After this, she did not return. The husband of the female comes to the nest box at 6:30 am to check on it. The female came into the nest box right away. I wonder why he is so freaked out.

She also checks the nest box carefully. 8:00 am later, she brings in the nest material for the first time. (total 34 times) 7th time! (Total 40 times) She brings in a mysterious black object (probably animal droppings). She places it in the corner of the nest box. 31st time! (Total 64 times) She's bringing in fluffy animal hair (or artificial fibrous material)! 36th time! (Total 69 times) She is cute stuck in the hollow!! 59th time! (Total 92 times) The amount of nesting material was tremendous…😆 Apr 14 The male came to check on the nest box. As usual, the male was scared and left immediately...😆 The female brought in the nesting material for the 3rd time today. Fluffy animal hair. 10th time! (Total 106 times) Deer hair! 14th time today. (total 126 times) She brought moss sporangium. It looks like she brought cut up vegetables..😆

29th time today. (total 141 times) That was it for the day. More fluffy nesting material. 13th time today. (total 154 times) She brought a lot of deer hair. 3rd time (total 160 times) Fluffy material. She is preparing the nest. She draws the fibrous nesting material into the hollow. 9th time today! (Total 178 times) Mysterious black object. The inside of the nest box has become quite dirty...😅 She came to work and started bringing in nesting material. 6th time today (total 201 times) 14th time today (total 209 times) Deer hair! It looks like the nest is approximately ready, but to me it doesn't look ready at all yet...😆 Late in the evening, the female returned. She starts to prepare the hollow. And then... she stopped moving. She is going to sleep here from today!♥ She is now ready to sleep in earnest. Is she going to lay her first egg tomorrow morning? Good night....

Apr 23. She wakes up! Did she lay an egg?? But...there was no egg yet... (It was a great feint...😆😆) She still brings in the nesting material!! 7th time today (total 216 times) 8th time today (total 217 times) Apr 27 Four days later... her nesting material delivery does not stop and she still does not lay eggs!! 1st time today (total 250 times!!!) 5th time today (total 254 times) Deer hair The nest is still not in order.... In the evening, she returned to the nest to sleep. She is finally getting a good night's sleep... Will she lay an egg tomorrow? She woke up! She has started to make a gesture as if she were laying an egg!! This move! Today is the day she is going to lay her egg!! Finally, she has laid her first! Congratulations! It is a beautiful egg!! In the end, she went out with all the eggs still visible. May she finish laying all the eggs safely...

Apr 29. She has laid her second egg! Congratulations! Apr 30. She has laid her 3rd egg! Congratulations! May 1. She has laid her 4th egg! Congratulations! 4 eggs!! She went out...but, on this day, the first severe trial will befall her..... The Coal Tit, who had been trying to take this nest box for several days, finally made her move today!!! She broke into the nest box with the eggs in full view! And has repeatedly broken in. What is she going to do? Finally, she brought the nesting material, but she could not get it inside.. The Japanese Tit returned!! Does she notice anything unusual about the nest box? Coal Tit also returned to the nest box!!! The blow of supreme strength! Too awesome..... She checked outside carefully and went out. An hour later, the Coal Tit returned, not having learned her lesson!!! And she finally started bringing in the nesting material...for the 1st time!

2nd time! 4th time! Will this nest box be taken over by Coal Tit? She began to prepare the hollow in earnest.... 8th time! 10th time! Then the Japanese Tit returned... Something's wrong...😆 She hid the egg for a bit. Only six minutes later, The Coal Tit resumed bringing in the nesting material!!😆 12th time! 14th time! She brought in what looked like a young fern sprout! This is something you don't find in a Japanese Tit's nest box. 17th time! 18th time! This nest box is mine★★★♪ 22nd time! 26th time! She started to bring in fluffy things. Is this the final stage? 31st time!! It's raining heavily outside and the nesting material is wet, but she continues to bring it in regardless! 41st time!!! 48th time!!! 51st time!! And then... she takes the unnecessary nesting material outside and finishes the day's work!

The nest has been beautifully renovated!!!😆😆 The nest box the evening before... And today. What a surprise!!!😆😆😆 The Japanese Tit returned to the nest box in the evening, but how will she react? It's like a surprise...😆😆 I don't know why..., but this nest is so fluffy and cozy... 😆 She settled into her hollow...😆 However, the hollow may have been a little too small for her. She was sleeping out of the hollow....😆 May 2 She has laid her 6th egg! Congratulations! 5 eggs! She hid the egg properly today... and went out... But 20 minutes later, the Coal Tit came again. It seems she has not given up here yet!!!!! She continues her nest renovation work. She is taking out the unwanted nesting material. She is digging up the hollow that Japanese Tit buried! The male Coal Tit brought food for the female! It looks like they are going to use this place as a nest right now!!

In no time at all, the egg is in full view. She continues to work on getting the nesting material out. But that was as far as her work went. She stopped moving. I'm sorry! She made an emergency escape from the nest box! The Japanese Tit had returned with the nesting material! I think the Coal Tit is amazing to be able to escape properly in this situation! ............(lost for words) Seriously? She is thinking what to do with the nesting material in her mouth. Then she placed the nesting material in the nest. 1st time today (total 277 times). I felt a little sorry for her because the Coal Tit dug her nest so deeply. She started the repair work. All the eggs were hidden. The Coal Tit was evicted and started nesting in another nest box two hours later. Why didn't they do that from the beginning! It was quickly fluffed up. There is another video of Coal Tit nesting. You can watch it if you like!

After the first severe trial, the Japanese Tit is working on widening its hollow. Good night. May 3. She laid her sixth egg. Congratulations! May 4. She laid her 7th egg. Congratulations! 7 eggs!!! May 5. She laid her another egg! (8th egg) Congratulations! 8 eggs!! She came back without bringing anything. She started to incubate the eggs early in the morning, so it appears that she has entered a phase of true incubation. This means that she will finish with 8 eggs. I wanted to see this fluttering behavior of hers. She is so freaking cute!!!! The male brought her some food! 1st time today (total 3 times) May 11. The male brought food! He has been working hard the last few days to bring in food. 1st time today (total 78 times). The male brought food! 3rd time today (total 80 times). This is a spider! She ate it nicely...😆

Not long ago, I was worried about what would happen to this nest, but it turned out to be a fine nest. I am glad. 😆 May 18 She has laid her 3rd egg! Congratulations! Take a good look at this egg! The chick inside is trying to crack the egg from the inside!!!

She is not yet aware that the egg is about to crack... The male brought food! 13th time today (total 160 times) Is the egg cracked? It will hatch shortly! I can see the chicks, the first hatch, congratulations! And the mother eats the shell... mewl... Second hatch, congratulations! The mother brought food for the chicks, the 1st time. The mother brought food for the chicks, the 2nd time.

The mother brought food for the chicks. 1st time today (total 8 times). The mother brought food for the chicks. 16th time today (total 23 times). At a time like this, a Japanese squirrel attacked the nest box!!! The mother came back in threat mode... She is checking to see if the nest has been attacked by the Japanese squirrel! As many of you may have noticed by now, the father has stopped coming to the nest box at all at this critical time.... The reason for this is unknown, but it is possible that the territorial dispute between the male Japanese Tits has resurfaced and they are being disturbed. The trail camera caught a bit of the male fighting. The male! The stripe in the middle is thicker, so both are males.

The male Japanese Tit came to the nest box! Is he the father? I guessed it wasn't the father... The mother is protecting her chicks! She was put in a difficult situation. She is eating the shell of the 7th egg... The mother brought food for the chicks. 61st time today (total 68 times). It is going to be a very tough parenting this time. Will the mother be able to overcome this biggest trial...? (Today's feedings: 72 times) May 20 Day 3 after hatching. She seems to have woken up. The father did not come to the nest box this morning.

The mother warms the chicks for only 3 minutes and goes looking for food again. 6 minutes later...the mother brought food for the chicks. 14th time today(total 93 times) The food is too big...😅 In the end, the mother ate it herself. It is hard to make the food smaller since the father is not around.... The mother warms the chicks for only 6 minutes and goes looking for food again. Japanese squirrel approached the nest box again today!! The mother is in alert mode! It is really a lot of work!!! She could not feed this time. The mother warms the chicks for only 6 minutes and goes looking for food again. This is unavoidable, but the number of times to feed the chicks and the time to keep them warm is far too little. The mother brought food for the chicks. 50th time today(total 129 times) It has been 38 minutes since the last feeding.. 26th time today(total 105 times)

A heartbreaking cry... But it is difficult for the mother to keep the chicks warm and feed them at the same time... Moreover, it is raining heavily today. 28 minutes later, she came back without food. The mother seems to be staying with the male out there! Is she looking for a male to help her raise her chicks..?

The mother brought food for the chicks. 12th time today (total 180 times). The mother returned without food. This is indeed not a good situation, so I decided to put some live food...

I have been collecting Camel Crickets under the floor. Keep it in the bucket... It seems that she got into the bucket several times, so it might have helped her a little....

The chick managed to swallow the food on her own... Finally, the male came to the nest box. But he left in an instant. Maybe the mother was expecting food.... The one on the left is the male that came this day, and right is the father, who has stopped coming to the nest.. The pattern of their wings are different, so he is a different male. The male who came later does not seem to help with feeding. Will the mother be able to continue raising her young alone...? May 26 Day 9 after hatching The mother brought food for the chicks. 12th time today(total 398 times) The male is calling her outside... The male is calling outside in a loud voice... I'm coming!

But the two chicks were snuggled up asleep... May 30 Day 13 after hatching

Once again, the chick emerged from the nest hole. And finally... the first chick has left the nest!!! Shortly after, another one emerged! The chick has left the nest!!! The chick is looking very healthy. I am very happy to see that they have grown up so well....

The mother is still outside feeding the chicks. The mother is still raising the baby chicks. Then their chirping gradually moved away and disappeared into the forest..... I hope the chicks will be able to survive in nature, just like their mother, who managed to parent her chicks by herself and overcome severe trials.. And a hearty round of applause to the mother...! Thank you very much! The END
